Here’s more interesting information we received:

Hamilton County Municipal Judge Fannon Rucker w= ill be presented with a petition from a group of Anderson Township property own= ers that asks the judge to require additional security from trustee-elect Kevin= P. O’Brien “in the best interests of…taxpayers of Anderson Township.

O’Brien is a newly elected Anderson Township Trustee, who ran on a campaign slogan of “Integrity Counts in an Election,” may soon be under investigation for actively violating federal securities regulations, since his broker’s license = was permanently revoked by the Securities and Exchange Commission this past September 14^th and he was discharged by the securities firm, Rob= ert W. Baird & Co.

&nb= sp;

On Monday, Judge Rucker approved a bond in the minimum amount of $1,000, as required for O’Brien to take office. The petition application anticipates that the judge will hold a hearing to cons= ider the request.

During what O’Brien referred to as a “press conference” last Wednesday, O’Brien did not deny t= hat he had misappropriated a significant sum of a client’s money for his = own use and benefit, stating that he did it out of concern for his client. Alth= ough securities experts and FINRA representatives agree that his permanent licen= se revocation was the gravest sanction possible for the most egregious miscond= uct, O’Brien dismissed it as “a modest error in judgment.”

Although only the Forest Hills Journal w= as invited to O’Brien’s press conference, an Enquirer repor= ter, Steve Kemme, was actually on hand to ask many of the serious questions rais= ed by Anderson residents. After berating the Enquirer reporter for his stories, O’Brien made the claim that the license revocation was again= st the company, not against him, even though the FINRA report clearly states t= hat O’Brien himself can no longer work in any capacity in the securities industry.

R.W. Baird & Co., who fired O’Brien f= or his misdeeds in 2008 and paid a six-figure settlement to the client has ref= used to come forward to defend O’Brien’s claim that the case was clo= sed.

3D"KEVIN While= the O’Brien saga is the most significant matter impacting Anderson Townsh= ip in recent memory, the Forest Hills Journal Editor, Eric Spangler, continues his seemingly biased efforts to support O’Brien and discred= it sitting township officials by soft-pedaling the story, hiding it on an insi= de page and originally ignoring it completely. It would appear that Spangler h= as failed to live up to his journalistic responsibility by not bothering to contact any involved parties other than O’Brien himself.&n= bsp;

Many people are now demanding Ke= vin O’Brien should do the honorable thing, as demanded on the “Kevin O’Brien Must Resign” Website. =
